The name Elise has a special meaning to the players.
After all, the first time players appeared in the game, they woke up under the statue of the Goddess of Life. Every time they died, they would wake up in the Temple of Life. Elise was the goddess they were most familiar with and felt closest to.
Most of the players are atheists, but if they have to believe in a god, then the Goddess of Life is definitely the one with the highest vote rate.
Among the NPCs in the game world, apart from the most famous loli dragon Margaret, it is Elise's turn.
But now Beta heard someone called Elise, he was a little speechless at first, and then a little disappointed. Now it is not three hundred years ago, the Goddess of Life has been replaced, and now everyone thinks that the Goddess of Life is called Rose, and how many people know that the Goddess of Life was once called Elise.
Beta followed these people far away, listening to them and obtaining more intelligence and news.
If you want to find a city or a gathering point of human beings, just follow the path, but information is more important. Anyway, the dry food that Beta and the others store in the mansion can last for a few more days. So I decided to follow these people and listen to their conversations, so as to know what kind of place this is and what the situation is like.
These people seemed to be on patrol. They carried dry food, but because there was no space equipment, they carried not much, and they started to go back two days later.
In the past two days, Beta stayed behind these people like a perverted stalker, and obtained a lot of information from their conversations.
First of all, this place is still the territory of human beings, but they can be regarded as a hermit people who live in seclusion in the ice barren land. They moved here, as if it happened hundreds of years ago, and rarely communicate with the outside world. Occasionally, they will send people out to get acquainted with the outside world situation, and then come back and live their lives.
From their conversation, it can be heard that they are very yearning for the outside world, but at the same time they also have a certain degree of fear.
Beta followed them all the time. When they camped and rested, Beta entered the space of the mansion, stopping and going all the way. Two days later, they were about to arrive at their gathering place. On the vast skyline of the ice sheet, higher black dots appeared.
Seeing this black spot, the interest of these people obviously increased.
"Finally back home."
"It's a pity that I missed the sacrifice dance of Ms. Elise."
"You guys like to watch this kind of eclectic stuff, hum."
The only woman in the line was disgruntled.
"But you seem to be the person in our team who admires Ms. Elise the most."
"That's why I think Ms. Elise is such a noble person, she shouldn't dance for you."
Everyone laughed, but at this time, the leading middle-aged captain suddenly stopped, he listened carefully, and then shouted anxiously: "Run."
He took the lead in running, and the other team members hurriedly followed.
Behind them, there was a strange rumbling sound first, and then a huge white maggot drilled out from under the ice layer, wearing this team.
"This is already very close to our home, why are there still snow maggots coming out?"
"Don't talk, run away first, lead it away from the village." The middle-aged leader shouted.
Although these patrol members are all professionals, they are all level lv1, lv2, and the highest level is the team leader lv3, and this snow maggot is a level 4 monster. Coupled with the terrain advantage, this team is no match for snow maggots at all .
Although they have been running away, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer. Although the snow maggot has no legs, it twists and turns, and its speed is faster than them. The female teammate who fell at the end is about to be huge The snow maggot caught up with him, and the middle-aged man stopped suddenly, then held a hard wooden shield and a long knife, and jumped towards the snow maggot.
The snow maggot reacted faster than him, and the tail behind him was drawn forward, directly knocking the person into the air, and the hardwood shield was even smashed into several pieces.
The middle-aged man fell far away, vomiting blood, and couldn't stand up at all. And the snow maggot swam towards the female team member who was about to be frightened into stupidity, opening his mouth full of sharp teeth, ready to swallow it in one gulp.
The others were terrified and frightened, but their strength was limited and they were unable to rescue them in time.
Just when the female team member was about to be swallowed, a thunderous blue light struck from a distance, directly breaking the snow maggot in two. The green body fluids splashed everywhere, and the two truncated bodies twitched and twisted on the snow, sweeping up a lot of snowflakes. After a while, they gradually calmed down and died.
The female team member who was still in shock wiped her face, the green sap of snow maggots splashed all over her just now, and now the stench was unpleasant, but no matter how you say it, no matter how miserable life is, it is much better than death.
Several people turned their eyes to the distance, and at some point there stood a young man with blond hair and red cape, smiling and looking extremely kind.
The middle-aged captain stood up with the support of his teammates. After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, he felt much more relaxed. Then he looked at the young man in the distance, feeling a little awe-inspiring.
He is relatively strong in the village, so it can be seen that it is a very simple matter to wipe out the young people not far away, and the other party is obviously a foreigner, and the population of the village is only a few hundred. Everyone knows each other even if they don't know each other well, but the young man in front of him is obviously not from the village.
In the village, apart from offering sacrifices to Elise, there are no such powerful young people.
The middle-aged captain was hesitating whether to step forward to say thanks, but the other party had already walked over.
"I'm Beta, a traveling mage. I got lost accidentally when I came to the snowfield to find a magic material. I came along the road. I'm glad to meet you."
The other party spoke a strange language, but they actually understood it... The middle-aged captain seemed to remember that the spellcasters from outside seemed to know a kind of magic called language proficiency.
"I am Miles." The middle-aged captain bent slightly: "Your Excellency, the caster, thank you very much for your help."
Following his words, the other teammates bowed slightly to express their thanks. Things like snow maggots rarely appear outside the village. Normally, when they appear, they make a lot of noise, and the village will immediately send people out to encircle and exterminate them. A fish that slipped through the net.
If it weren't for the young man in front of them, they would definitely be dead.
"Although I am very grateful to you for saving us, may I ask what you are looking for?" The middle-aged captain had obvious guard in his eyes: "Maybe we can help."
"A special ice elemental creature, which looks like a ball, is a very rare magic material."
As soon as the words came out, the people in this team were relieved, there was no such thing near their village.
Beta raised his eyebrows. These people were very happy, and they seemed to be innocent and straightforward. Could it be that they seldom deal with the outside world? 8)
